I hate today.
Today really sucks. I don’t care how many other people in the world are happy because I know I’m right when I say that today is the suckiest day in the history of sucky days. It’s such a sucky day that it defies the laws of physics and common sense by somehow both sucking and blowing at the same time.
If this day had a name, it would be Sir Sucky McSucksuck. The Third.
In case you didn’t know already, today is the day that Halo 2 is being released. I had my copy reserved since September of LAST FRICKING YEAR, that’s 2003 people, and yet I do not have a copy of this, the most fabulous of… uhm… fabulous-y? games in my hot little hands. And, according to the packing and shipping demons at Amazon, my copy won’t be shipped until the end of DECEMBER! DECEMBER!
I can’t… They won’t… I just… The… AAARGH!
So, now I’m forced to call those I know who actually stood on line at stores that opened at midnight for a Halo 2 Midnite Madness Super Sale and ask them to describe the game to me. In lurid detail. Over the phone! I’m going to feel like some sicko who calls those phone sex hotlines, you know?
“Oooo, tell me about polygon count! Describe Cortana! Is she hot? Shoot two guns at the same time and hold the phone to the TV speaker so I can hear it! Is that the sound of a rocket launcher? Oh god, I think I wet my pants…”
If I had any pride left I think I’d weep in shame…
O yeah.. its good.. fun, too.. pretty, pretty polygons.. yesss
And I didnt stand in line in the cold (yes it hits 30 down here now. I waited in my car. Warm toasty car. With music. Shadows Fall and the Lonesome Kings to be exact.
And when the line finally dwindled down to two people waiting outside to get in.. I got on the line.
Last customer of the day! WHee!
O.. then I came home and watched the bonus DVD.. that was neat. And I flipped through the guide book. Pretty pictures.
Now I play the game on my spare monitor, using a X2VGA (http://www.x2vga.com/) in all its 480p goodness.
BTW, you said you’d call me today at lunchtime.. creep.
Dual Weapons Rule!
You Got Mail…..
A quick follow up.. Geek did call and he really did want to know everything about the game.
What a sad, sad geek. :P
